Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football. So you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads(护腿板)or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant(斗志昂扬的)types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat, right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”
4. What does Cathy think about her job?
A. It highly values experience and flexibility.
B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches.
C. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people.
D. It hardly faces new challenges in every competition.
5. How does Cathy emphasize the importance of nutrition to athletes?
A. By telling a story. B. By making a comparison.
C. By providing data. D. By analyzing a phenomenon.
6. According to Cathy, what is a fundamental principle behind successful sports nutrition?
A. Focusing on the timing of the diet. B. Increasing the variety of foods.
C. Following a strict and militant diet plan. D. Cutting out specific foods from the diet.
7. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. A good eater is a great athlete.
B. Nutritionists act as unsung heroes behind athletes.
C. Nutrition determines the results in the competition.
D. Food is less important than skills in the sports field.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】

推理判断题。由文章第二段“Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential.(不管是哪项运动,Cathy的态度都是一样的——任何不尊重营养的运动员都是未能发挥自己潜力的运动员。)”以及上下文可知,本文主要介绍了营养师的工作内容、工作理念及运动员与营养之间的紧密关系,从而说明了营养师是运动场上运动员背后的无名英雄之一。故选B项。
C
Do you see a bird right now? Can you hear one chirping? If so, you might be getting a mental health boost. A study recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.
Andrea Mechelli, a psychologist at King’s College London, found himself studying the natural world accidentally. Initially he was searching for answers to why people who lived in cities seemed to tend to suffer mental illness, particularly psychosis. In 2015, he created the smartphone app Urban Mind to search for patterns in users’ environments. “Our first finding is that nature has a very powerful effect,” says Mechelli. He and his colleagues then wondered if some aspects of nature were more beneficial than others. They turned to birds for their ubiquity (普遍存在) in rural and urban environments.
Their latest study included 1,292 participants mainly in the United Kingdom and Europe. For two weeks, participants were prompted to fill out a questionnaire about their surrounding environment and their mental state three times a day. Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present, even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways. The mental health benefit was true both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.
Peter James, an environmental health scientist at Harvard, would like to see more data. He found that environmental health studies like these lack diversity. Yet, a psychologist at Trent University in Canada, Lisa Nisbet says, “This kind of study helps us understand how people’s everyday experience with specific elements of nature, such as birds, can be restorative.”
Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions. At Mechelli’s clinical practice in London, he focuses on early intervention therapies. He suggests his patients go for walks to observe the trees and plants growing in the city, and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch. “It has no side effects,” he says. “It’s something they could try, and they have nothing to lose.”
8. What can be inferred about Andrea Mechelli’s study?
A. Diverse environments are rewarding only for depressed people.
B. The presence of birds is beneficial to mental health.
C. Peter James thought highly of Mechelli’s research.
D. It was originally targeted at the research on birds.
9. What does the underlined word “eliminating” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Defeating. B. Identifying.
C. Considering. D. Removing.
10. Which of the following statement might Andrea Mechelli agree with?
A. Early intervention shows no significance.
B. The access to nature helps people be more confident.
C. Nature-based intervention functions well in mental health.
D. People’s daily experience is connected with mental problems.
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Use Nature in Supporting Mental Health B. Get Outside for a Quicker Mental Recovery
C. Analyze Data to Make a Good Treatment Plan D. Turn to Birds for Better Understandings of Humans
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最近的一项研究发现,与鸟儿在一起会让人感觉更加积极。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present(Mechelli进行了一项统计分析,发现有鸟在场时,幸福感有明显改善)”以及“ The mental health benefit was true both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.(对于那些被诊断出患有抑郁症的人和那些没有任何被诊断出患有精神疾病的人来说,心理健康方面的好处都是真实的。)”可知,从Andrea Mechelli的研究中可推知鸟的存在有利于心理健康。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线所在句子“Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present, even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways.(Mechelli进行了一项统计分析,发现有鸟类在场时,即使eliminating树木或水道等其他因素,人们的幸福感也会有明显改善)”中的“when birds were present”以及“even when”可知,此处应是表达“只要有鸟类在场,即使排除树木或水道等其他因素,人们的幸福感也会有明显改善”符合语境,划线词eliminating应是“排除”之意,和D项“Removing(排除,去除)”意思一致。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions. At Mechelli’s clinical practice in London, he focuses on early intervention therapies. He suggests his patients go for walks to observe the trees and plants growing in the city, and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch. “It has no side effects,” he says. “It’s something they could try, and they have nothing to lose.”(欣赏鸟类似乎是一种基于自然的健康和福祉干预的有希望的途径。在伦敦Mechelli的临床实践中,他专注于早期干预疗法。他建议他的病人去散步,观察城市里生长的树木和植物,以及在树枝间飞舞的鸟儿。“它没有副作用,”他说。“这是他们可以尝试的东西,他们没有什么可失去的。”)”可推知,Andrea Mechelli建议他的病人去散步,观察城市里生长的树木和植物以及在树枝间飞舞的鸟儿,由此可推知,Andrea Mechelli会赞同基于自然的干预对心理健康有很好的作用。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you see a bird right now? Can you hear one chirping? If so, you might be getting a mental health boost. A study recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.(你现在看到一只鸟了吗?你能听到其中一只啾啾吗?如果是这样,你可能会得到心理健康的促进。最近发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究发现,有鸟在身边会让人感觉更积极)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了与鸟儿在一起会让人感觉更加积极,所以A项“Use Nature in Supporting Mental Health(利用自然支持心理健康)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
D
It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.
In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.
It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives.
The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy (自主). But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.
12. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness?
A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story.
13. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on?
A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude.
C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude.
14. Netta describes the state of loneliness as _______.
A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. harmful
15. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice.
B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy.
C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world.
D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了独处与孤独的区别,并强调独处对个人成长的重要性。通过历史人物的故事和科学研究,作者提倡在喧嚣世界中寻找独处时光,以恢复内心并享受自我反思的益处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile(流放)to a ‘lonely dragon’retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously ‘wandered lonely as a cloud’, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide ‘cheerful company’. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.(这个词的功劳通常归于伟大的造词者威廉·莎士比亚。在他的笔下,人物科利奥兰纳斯将流放比作“孤独的龙”退入洞穴。他所描述的是一种身体上的状态:孤独的人只是独自一人。后来,由于浪漫主义诗人的影响,这个词又增添了情感上的含义。孤独成为了一种心灵的状态。对于威廉·华兹华斯这位著名的“像云朵般孤独地游荡”的诗人来说,自然世界能让人摆脱孤独带来的负面情绪——一丛鲜花就能提供“令人愉悦的陪伴”。如今,孤独常被视为一个严重的公共健康问题,它会让人产生一种脱节感。)”可知,第一段通过回顾从莎士比亚最初使用“孤独”一词描述单纯的物理上的独处状态,到浪漫主义诗人将其含义扩展到心灵层面的过程,追溯了“孤独”概念的发展。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. (心理学教授Netta Weinstein在他的《孤独》一书中想知道独处时间的回报。他首先讲述了作家 Michel Montaigne和画家Edward Hopper等人物创作的孤独故事。然后,Netta利用实验室工作、访谈和调查来阐明独处是如何真正影响人类思维的。)”可知,《孤独》一书着重探讨了独处时间对人心理的正面影响,通过历史人物的故事、实验室研究、访谈和调查数据来阐明独处如何真正作用于人的心理。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude.(孤独,通常被认为是消极,可以潜在地转化为积极的孤独体验。)”可知,孤独的状态是可以改变的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to ‘peak experiences’ such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.(相比之下,选择性的独处提供了自我反思的空间。它可以打开通往‘巅峰体验’的大门,比如奇迹、和谐和幸福。然而,遗憾的是,在一个高度互联的数字时代,许多读者不喜欢他们有足够长的休息时间来体验这种体验。)”可知,Netta可能同意的一个观点是在高度互联的数字时代,许多读者认为自己不太可能有足够长的时间中断来体验“巅峰时刻”,暗示在这样的环境下,人们主动选择的、有利于自我反思的独处变得较为少见,即选择性独处在数字世界中是罕见的。故选C项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate?
In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim?” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears?
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson to coach me. She taught me how to propel myself forward in the water and I gradually gained confidence in the pool. Slowly but surely, I improved under her guidance and encouragement. Four months later, it was time for me to take my swimming test. I jumped into the pool and followed all of Kathy’s advice. I swam gracefully, just like a fish, and passed the test with flying colours.
“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you! You’re a wonderful friend! If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!” I exclaimed. Since then, our friendship has blossomed. We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow. Surprisingly, I grew to love the water. A friend like Kathy is hard to come by. She has a heart of gold and I will definitely treasure our precious friendship.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者非常怕水,但是学校要求所有学生都要通过游泳考试,于是父母在家附近为作者报了游泳课程,作者不情愿地去上课,上课过程也非常痛苦,Kathy是游泳课上表现最好的学生,一次艰难的游泳课后作者鼓起勇气问Kathy能否教自己有用,忐忑地等待Kathy的回答。

②由第二段首句内容“‘恭喜你!’Kathy得知我通过了游泳考试后说。”可知,第二段可描写作者感谢Kathy并和Kathy成为了朋友。

Cathy Winston is a sports nutritionist. Among her regulars are athletes. Cathy thrives on the variety, with each new sport providing new challenges and a renewed appreciation of her chosen field of expertise. In her view, dealing with athletes from various sport backgrounds helps her become seasoned, which is a key part of being a successful nutritionist. “You have to understand nutrition and people, and then you can begin to work in this field,” she says. “Besides, in tennis you must learn to be reactive, because you don’t know how long the match lasts. However, it’s 90 minutes in football. So you know what you’re fueling for.”
Regardless of the sport, Cathy’s attitude remains the same any athlete failing to respect nutrition is one who is failing to fulfill their potential. It’s a key part of the training process. It’s not just something that you take casually. She advises her athletes to hold nutrition in the same regard as they do their most crucial bit of equipment. “Just as you wouldn’t forget to put your shin pads(护腿板)or your boots in your kit bag, don’t forget to put in your drinks and your snacks. That informs how well you train, because you can’t get out if you haven’t put in.”
Nutritionists are sometimes unfairly represented as militant(斗志昂扬的)types telling what athletes can and can’t eat. But Cathy insists that when to eat is more important than what. “It’s about when’s the right time to have it in,” she says. It’s a message that Cathy says can take a while to sink in. “A lot of boxers say, ‘but bananas make you fat, right?’, and there’s this inherent belief that we mustn’t eat those kinds of things. But it’s not about what to cut out. It’s about making sure that you’ve got the foundation right for health and performance. It’s that one size fits one. It’s what works for you. To be an excellent athlete, you really need to be an exceptional eater.”
4. What does Cathy think about her job?
A. It highly values experience and flexibility.
B. It mainly focuses on the duration of matches.
C. It merely needs to understand nutrition and people.
D. It hardly faces new challenges in every competition.
5. How does Cathy emphasize the importance of nutrition to athletes?
A. By telling a story. B. By making a comparison.
C. By providing data. D. By analyzing a phenomenon.
6. According to Cathy, what is a fundamental principle behind successful sports nutrition?
A. Focusing on the timing of the diet. B. Increasing the variety of foods.
C. Following a strict and militant diet plan. D. Cutting out specific foods from the diet.
7. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. A good eater is a great athlete.
B. Nutritionists act as unsung heroes behind athletes.
C. Nutrition determines the results in the competition.

Do you see a bird right now? Can you hear one chirping? If so, you might be getting a mental health boost. A study recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.
Andrea Mechelli, a psychologist at King’s College London, found himself studying the natural world accidentally. Initially he was searching for answers to why people who lived in cities seemed to tend to suffer mental illness, particularly psychosis. In 2015, he created the smartphone app Urban Mind to search for patterns in users’ environments. “Our first finding is that nature has a very powerful effect,” says Mechelli. He and his colleagues then wondered if some aspects of nature were more beneficial than others. They turned to birds for their ubiquity (普遍存在) in rural and urban environments.
Their latest study included 1,292 participants mainly in the United Kingdom and Europe. For two weeks, participants were prompted to fill out a questionnaire about their surrounding environment and their mental state three times a day. Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present, even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways. The mental health benefit was true both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.
Peter James an environmental health scientist at Harvard, would like to see more data. He found that environmental health studies like these lack diversity. Yet, a psychologist at Trent University in Canada, Lisa Nisbet says, “This kind of study helps us understand how people’s everyday experience with specific elements of nature, such as birds, can be restorative.”
Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions. At Mechelli’s clinical practice in London, he focuses on early intervention therapies. He suggests his patients go for walks to observe the trees and plants growing in the city, and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch. “It has no side effects,” he says. “It’s something they could try, and they have nothing to lose.”

C. Analyze Data to Make a Good Treatment Plan D. Turn to Birds for Better Understandings of Humans
D
It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.
In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.
It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives.
The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy (自主). But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. However, it is a pity that in a highly-connected digital age, many readers don’t like their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.
12. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness?
A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story.
13. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on?
A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude.
C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude.
14. Netta describes the state of loneliness as _______.
A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. harmful
15. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice.
B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy.
C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world.
D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate?
In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim?” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears?
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence.

“Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test.
